9 <br /> b. Re-naming of the Orange County Farmers' Market Pavilion to the David <br /> Price Farmers' Market Pavilion <br /> The Board considered a resolution re-naming the Orange County Farmers' <br /> Market Pavilion to the David Price Farmers' Market Pavilion and authorizing the Chair <br /> to sign. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier said she had petitioned the Board to discuss a re- <br /> naming facility policy before bringing this item back. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier said she will vote against this since there is not a policy <br /> in place yet. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said he felt like the Board had already voted on this <br /> issue, even though it was not unanimous. He said he is looking forward to the policy <br /> discussion, but felt that the request for a discussion arose out of this item coming to the <br /> fore. He said he does not find that this item puts the cart before the horse. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs agreed with Commissioner Dorosin's recollection. He <br /> said there was concern voiced by some of the Farmer's market people, and he and <br /> Chair McKee met with this group, who are now comfortable with this item moving <br /> forward. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs read the resolution: <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> RESOLUTION RE-NAMING THE FARMERS' MARKET PAVILION FOR DAVID PRICE <br /> WHEREAS, in 2002, Congressman David Price secured federal grant funds for Orange <br /> County in the amount of $90,000 to help local officials build a shelter for <br /> the Hillsborough Farmers' Market; and, <br /> WHEREAS, the grant funds were used for the construction of the Orange County <br /> Public Market House in the River Park area behind the Orange County <br /> Courthouse in Hillsborough; and, <br /> WHEREAS, Congressman Price continued his efforts to support Orange County and, in <br /> 2003, secured funds for Orange County totaling $900,000 from the <br /> Environmental Protection Agency Special Appropriations Grant funds <br /> program for the construction of the Central Efland and North Buckhorn <br /> sewer improvements; and, <br /> WHEREAS, in 2005 Congressman Price secured $500,000 for additional water and <br /> sewer improvements to the Northern Center and the Mebane-Efland <br /> corridor in the economic development district serving the middle school, <br /> soccer complex and the community of Buckhorn Road; and, <br /> WHEREAS, in 2009 Congressman Price assisted Orange County in efforts to secure a <br /> $237,500 Economic Development Initiative grant from the US <br />
